While I think it may be partially true that Kinsey's study included an unrepresentative percentage of prison inmates, having had the unfortunate bad fortune of being acqainted with some former prisoners (my current lover spent 19 mos. in the FedPen in Danbury CT for securities fraud, one of my good friends from prep school was busted for possession with intent to distribute and I have a cousin who was convicted of vehicular manslaughter, i.e. dui killing), I can tell you that from their experiences I understand that even prisoners who voluntarily engage in gay encounters in prison do not necessarily consider themselves gay or bi. Its rather like a "when in Rome" mentality. So I doubt they would have skeued the study by replying anything other than straight.
As for your poll, I vote bi, obviously. Why didn't U answer???
